rear seats and headrests removal

how does one go about removing the twin fold-down rear seats on 2015 sr5. the actual seat part is simple to unbolt, but I'd like to be rid of the fold-down headrests and need to know how to remove the entire plastic panel the backrests are molded onto. thanks

 

The headrests don't fold down. Could you take a picture of what you're referring to?

 

My headrests in the rear fold down

 

They do fold down, at least on +12 tacomas. The headrests come out just like the front headrests. There's a button where one of the posts goes into it. Push the button then lift the headrest out.

 

And on some they are a bitch to get out. I had to have the dealer get mine out so I could do my Clazzio's. And then they were almost as impossible to get back in.

 

I remember people talking about theirs being tough to get out. Mine all pop out really easy.

 

Nice brother

 

Double Cab or Access Cab? If it's the latter, there's a thread on TW (title is '09+ rear headrest removal') with a link to a thread on toyotanation with info on how to remove them.

 

On an access cab, the whole back "seat" panel pops off. There are 2 bolts that hold the each head rest on.

 

steveo27, any more info on popping the panel off, like where to apply pressure, etc? thanks

 

If they're "folding backwards" towards the rear window, they're in backwards. Use a small screw drivers to press the release and they'll come out pretty easily. Check your manual for more information.

The rear seat bottoms come out with two bolts a side - easy stuff.

 

Look for bolts

Are you removing rear jump seats or just head rest?
